Whitman Audio Decoherence Germanium & Silicon Overdrive Guitar Effect Pedal Used

Whitman Audio Decoherence Germanium & Silicon Overdrive Guitar Effect Pedal Used

Used with wear associated with use. Minor cosmetic scratches/scuffs from handling and play. Any noteworthy blemishes or issues will be described and pictured. Works as it should.

We strongly recommend using the proper power supply for any pedal. Daisy chain power supplies may not supply enough power when using multiple pedals or introduce noise into the chain. Consult the pedal manual when available for manufacturer recommended power specifications.

Quantum physics for your pedalboard (no PhD required)
Your sonic playground, not a physics lecture. The Decoherence drive pedal injects a universe of unique saturation into your musical arsenal, all without needing to pass a final in quantum entanglement. Built like a tank (but prettier), this pedal is ready for the road or your studio shrine.

A sound lab in a box. Craft your own signature sonic with a wild array of gain structures, blending cascaded stages, and dual independent gain controls. Make no compromises. Intuitive gain controls and sweet mid-range peaks ensure you'll not only be heard, but stand out in the mix with no flub at higher gain. Road-ready, studio-worthy. Constructed with top-notch components and design inspired by flight controls of the early space era, the Decoherence drive pedal will turn heads on stage and last longer than your latest bass player.

Dual Cascading Gain Stages Burr Brown Op: Amp powered at 24v for maximum fidelity and punch
Gain A: UltraViolet LEDs for open and dynamic saturation with low amounts of compression
Gain B: The G/S switch selects between two different diodes to change the distortion characteristics.
Gain B Clipping switch (G): NOS (New Old Stock) Germanium Diodes: For high distortion and compression that is accompanied by a gentle rolloff of treble
Gain B Clipping switch (S): NOS Silicon Diodes: For medium gain with a good deal less compression than the Germanium diodes

EQ
High & Low EQ: An active EQ section allowing for +/- 10db of cut or boost. The controls are non-interactive to allow for a wide range of eq settings. The mid point between the EQ adjustments is set at 1kHz.

Robust Power Handling 9VDC, 2.1mm center negative barrel
Internally boosted voltage to 24v for high headroom and clarity
Overvoltage and reverse voltage protection
Note: We recommend a quality regulated and isolated power supply. Our pedals do not accept batteries.

Enclosure & I/O
True bypass switching
Bespoke heavy duty aluminum enclosure
Automotive grade powder coat paint - this stuff is durable!
Solid aluminum knobs

Controls
Volume: Passive volume control
Gain A: Ultra bright UV LEDs in a soft clipping configuration. Allows for subtle compression to thick distortion. As the gain knob is turned up, harsh high frequencies are reduced and a 1kHz peak is formed.
Gain B: A “Hard Clipping” distortion tuned to provide anywhere from light texture to tight articulate distortion. The clipping selector to the right of Gain B changes the diodes and overall texture of this stage. The output of Gain B is highly influenced by Gain A.
Clipping Selector: Switches between NOS germanium diodes for a thick compressed and textural distortion or NOS silicon for a tighter and articulate distortion with more clean headroom.
High & Low EQ: An active EQ section allowing for +/- 10db of cut or boost. The controls are non-interactive to allow for a wide range of eq settings. The mid point between the EQ adjustments is set at 1kHz.
